J283 Video Reporting and Storytelling

This is a required course for all students who are in the Documentary thesis concentrations.

It will meet twice a week. The course is structured around two simultaneous modules: Module 1: Technical sessions designed to promote advanced proficiency in several technical production skills critical to the process of video storytelling (editing, camera, sound, and lighting). Module 2: Hands-on experience pitching, reporting, field and show producing, writing and structuring news video pieces on deadline, culminating in a longer piece in the second half of the semester.

Students will showcase multiple pieces throughout the semester as part of this course.
